The old house felt empty now, the air thick with the ghosts of the past. As Finn and his sister, Willow, sorted through their inherited belongings, they came across a trunk in the attic. Inside, they found a collection of handmade toys, carefully crafted by their grandfather. Finn, usually stoic, found his eyes pricking with tears. Willow reached out and took his hand. She knew he always admired their grandfather's skill. The toys brought back a rush of childhood memories. “He made these for us,” she said, her voice husky. Finn squeezed her hand. A shared feeling, a silent language of affection, filled the air.
